The Hung Like a Donkey General Election December 2019 Thread

[Sam-AVFC]

After pulling out anti semitism quotes, I wonder when they’re going to quote Baroness Warsi on Islamaphobia.

To me Brexit is done. This election is about the future of the NHS - because on the way we are going it won't survive (in a meaningful sense) another 5 years.

Boris Johnson is one of the most self-entitled rocket polishers in the history of British politics.

[lp_villa830]

Johnson just stuck on repeat. 

Brexit, Brexit, Brexit

[snowychap]

Aargh. Julie Etchingham is absolutely losing this.

She's made her quotable intervention and now seems to have given up. She just gave Johnson her job for the last minute.

Yep over egging Brexit...and it's back firing a little.

[Sam-AVFC]

Did they just say that after the break they’ll discuss Prince Andrew?!

[Chindie]

Johnson isn't very good at this.

[StefanAVFC]

COMPARE ANTI-SEMITISM IN LABOUR TO ISLAMOPHOBIA IN THE TORIES. Not some false equivalence that a former staffer said he isn't trustworthy ffs

It's all he's got.  Nationalistic jingoism, preying on the bored and stupid.

Anything with any substance - NHS, police on the streets, tax - and he's got absolutely **** all to offer.

ffs, lets get onto the important things, like free broadband !!!!!

Yes, but it will be working.

Johnson's up on points so far.

[sharkyvilla]

Corbyn's glasses are wonky

[Chindie]

Same soundbites over and over, bluster and riding over the debate format. No substance, just cheap shots and slogans of pure vacuum.

I was just about to say about her, has no control on the debate. Doesn’t get them to answer correctly and allows them to interrupt too easily. Needs a stronger host to actually get answers from each candidate

I thought so too, but he was laughed at when he talked about trust and integrity and he flapped on his Brexit soundbites on an unrelated question

As I said before, a proper Labour leader would destroy him

Not so sure - thought he won the opening exchanges - but has really overdone Brexit and he is starting to look daft..

[StefanAVFC]

Corbyn much better here. Boris just going on.

[markavfc40]

Johnson has ran over his allotted time with every answer and kept on talking when told to stop. 

Whole debate is turning onto a farce.

[Chindie]

Corbyn's got genuine empathy, the NHS is something he does care about. Johnson would sell his granny if he could.

Also the sneering laughing words removed in the audience can get to ****.
